Features Aircraft ADF [legacy - see new app: fDeck]
** LEGACY NOTICE: **The developers latest, integrated flight deck, fDeck: flight instruments is now available.
It is recommended that you use fDeck as this will receive all future updates and support.Aircraft ADF provides you with a GPS based aircraft radio magnetic indicator (RMI) instrument shown as a typical Bendix/King KI-227 instrument.It lets you tune aircraft navigation non-directional beacons (NDB) and gives you bearing and distance information to that NDB.It uses a worldwide navigation database (downloaded on first use) and is not restricted by radio range.It uses your device GPS position and heading to calculate bearing and distance to the tuned NDB.Features: - Bendix/King KI-227 face - Worldwide NDB navigation database (downloaded on firt use) - Digital Bearing and distance to station indications - Option to operate as rotable compass card (just rotate with your finger!) - Filtered and smoothed display - no jitter or jumping!
- Support for portrait and landscape screens - Support for multiple screen resolutionsUsageIMPORTANT POINT 1 - Please ensure you have an active data connection when starting the app for the first time as it will attempt to download the radio navigation database.
IMPORTANT POINT 2- To function correctly, the application requires not only a GPS position fix but also a valid GPS groundtrack.
It may be necessary to move your device to give the GPS the data it requires to make this calculation.
Dont use it until you know its working!
Until a GPS fix is obtained, or in case of GPS fix being lost, the ADF will park itself at 90 degrees and --- will be shown in both the bearing and distance text boxes.
Tuning a stationUse the app menu to select Tune NDB.
You will be presented with all the NDB stations within 200 nautical miles of your current location.
Selecting a NDB will tune it up.
Hit your devices Back button when you have selected your desired VOR.
Interpreting the displayIf you have a valid GPS fix, the bearing to the NDB will be shown by the ADF needle and the top (or left in landscape mode) digital text box will show a digital bearing indication - the course you need to fly to travel towards the beacon.
The distance in nautical miles to the NDB will be shown in the bottom (or right in landscape mode) digital text box.
Rotatable compass card By default, the ADF compass card will slave itself to the GPS groundtrack, making the instrument a true single-needle Radio Magnetic Indicator(RMI).
However, you can manually turn the ADF into a rotatable compass card instrument using the toggle option in the app menu.
Once toggled, you can easily rotate the card using your finger.If you like this app, please try my other aircraft/flying related apps!

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"It used.to work New phone Samsung S21 u No good any more Needs update"
Bill Allen
"[Update4] Menu now does *not* work on Galaxy S9+ with the very latest. You need a very old version android to use this app."
David Horrocks
"What is wrong with the VOR app? I don't want ADF but when I upgrade the VOR app I get ADF instead."
Tractor Doc Brock
"I downloaded this app and took it flying the following day (around the north west of London). I tuned the aircraft's ADF to various NDBs and set up the app to do the same. The app was spot on and moved just like the real instrument. Selecting NDBs via the app was easy but functionality enabling the user to select a station by frequency would also be helpful. Another useful app would be a DME that could display distance to a selectable VOR or ILS station (or perhaps even functionality to have both displays within the same app)."
Legal Eagle
"This morning I was about to practice holdings over NDB with my student, but that NDB wasn't working at that time. I used this application and we could practice holdings without any problems. This app works fine and you can successfully use it as a backup for the real ADF. Thumbs up!"
Sasa Ristic
"great!"
Stephen Eiler
"I loved the app on my previous phone that had a permanent menu hard button at the bottom of the screen. On the new android devices though we do not have a menu button (only back and recent apps) so you cannot tune the frequency. I have both the adf and vor paid versions and will be uninstalling as it does not work. Please update the app"
Duan Bouwer
"After "wait for gps" message clear,, then come up new message "move to get new bearing"....??? NDB station around me has been detected, but still..... the ADF needle won't move (message still appearing and blinking) I like VOR software one because it is working. Please help me out,, or just give me refund.... 🙂 (Samsung S5. All sensor confirm in good condition)"

"The apps is unable to tune to other stations located. Please help to look into it."

"Good for training aids for avionics technicians"
